🛠️ NEVERWORLD GRID — SERVER MIGRATION IN PROGRESS 🛠️

Hey everyone! NeverWorld Grid ran into a hardware issue on our end that required us to move to a new server. We're actively working through the migration — mounting the new system, restoring data, and getting everything relinked and rebooted.

The Main Grid is temporarily offline while this happens. Full data restoration takes time to do right, so we appreciate your patience — we want everything to come back exactly as it should, not rushed.

In the meantime, come build with us on the Dev Grid! 🏗️
Create an account and hop on right now:
🔗 https://dev.neverworldgrid.com/

Sandbox away, build, test, export — a good way to stay productive while we finish up.

We'll post the moment the Main Grid is back online. Thanks for hanging in there with us — NWG's coming back stronger! 💙

Early announcement since this one may take some costume planning: On Friday September 11 at 12 pm grid time (that's 9 pm in Europe), we are doing a burlesque themed dance event in a skybox above Oasis, built for the occasion. Come wearing your best burlesque outfits or simply as you are to enjoy the music and the show. The stage has a dressing room so outfit changes during the event are entirely possible (make sure they are in your suitcase!)

⚓ Harbor Trade & Shipping

From farm and forge, kitchen and mine, the goods of our lands gather here.

Prepared cargo is stored in the harbor barrels until the trading vessel from Almost Community Farm arrives. From this pier, supplies begin their journey to distant ports and settlements across the grid.

Fill the barrels. Await the ship. Let trade begin.

Drama seems to find people in virtual worlds. This seemingly faceless medium seems to want to creep into every crack and cranny and sink its nastiness into many places.
At Neverworld Grid we remain commited to being the NO DRAMA grid. This can mean a bit of housekeeping from time to time. It is all in the insurance that we continue to be healthy, happy, and stress free environment to live, love and create in Neverworld.
What is drama? Drama is emotional outbursts, personal vendettas, hate speech, political belittling, or other personal harrasments meant to evoke a opposing reaction.
Please leave your drama off grid, BE KIND and continue to enjoy our wonderful world!

When it comes to details Fred and Deb's Virunga leaves nothing to the imagination. I come by to leave a note or gift for Deb in her mailbox at Rosamond Halsey Carr house. Rosamond Halsey Carr (1912-2006) had a flower ranch in Rwanda,. After the genocide of Hutus by Tutsi, when 8 people were killed in her gardens, she turned her flower sheds in the Imbabazi Orphanage. She was 84.

Since that time Roz and her staff have cared for more than 400 children. Since Roz's passing in 2006, the orphanage is under the direction of Partners in Conservation and currently cares for more than 100 orphans.

Roz also wrote the book "Land of a Thousand Hills: My Life in Rwanda," with her niece, Ann Howard Halsey, chronicling her love affair with one of the world's most beautiful and tormented regions. She is also the 2004 recipient of the Volvo for Life Award.

Maximillion Kleene

—usually known simply as Max Kleene—is a Canadian live musician who has been active as a resident in Second Life since September 13, 2006. His current Second Life profile links to his YouTube and Twitch channels, as well as his schedule and song list.
He is primarily described as an acoustic guitarist and singer with a relaxed, entertaining performance style. An older directory of Second Life live musicians lists him as being from the Niagara Falls region of Canada and cites rock, pop, and alternative rock as his genres.
According to his frequently published artist biography, his musical journey began with formal piano studies at the Royal Conservatory. Later, his focus shifted significantly toward the guitar. AC/DC became a major musical influence; other artists cited include Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters, and Jason Mraz.
His repertoire encompasses classic rock and pop covers as well as more recent tracks. Older sources mention artists such as Johnny Cash, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Jack Johnson, Green Day, and Foo Fighters.

Max Kleene is a long-established virtual live musician—focusing on acoustic guitar, rock/pop, and covers—who performs in both Second Life and OpenSim environments. His strength lies less in being a spectacular "showman" persona and more in the combination of his voice, guitar playing, humor, repertoire, and personal rapport with the audience.

And yes, humanity has actually had virtual guitarists playing for avatars in pixelated clubs for twenty years now. It is somewhat absurd. Yet, in a way, it is also quite beautiful. 🎸

🤠 ADRIAN MOON — COUNTRY VIBES AT THE BARN 🎸

Gentle Fire Grid is getting a little dusty today.

Adrian Moon is taking over The Barn from 12 till 2 PM Grid Time with a country-flavoured set that may contain guitars, questionable dance moves, and absolutely no guarantee that anyone leaves with their dignity intact. 😂

Expect country classics, feel-good tunes, a few surprises, and the kind of atmosphere where you come for the music and somehow end up arguing about who looks better in a cowboy hat.

No fancy rules. No serious business. Just good music, good people, and Adrian behind the decks pretending he knows what he’s doing. 🤣

📍 The Barn — Gentle Fire Grid
🕛 Today • 12:00–2:00 PM Grid Time
🎧 DJ: Adrian Moon
🤠 Dress code: Country, cowboy, outlaw… or whatever you managed to put on before noon.

Teleport: hop://login.gentlefiregrid.net:8002/Nevada/140/83/22

Come for the country. Stay because you can't find the exit. 😂🎶

It is not easy to keep our balance
when the world beneath us is falling apart.

Hate, violence and greed pull at us,
while fear and despair grow louder.

Perhaps we cannot change everything.
But we can try to keep moving forward –
holding on to the hand of someone
who walks this narrow path with us.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Es ist nicht leicht, die Balance zu halten,
wenn unter uns die Welt aus den Fugen gerät.

Hass, Gewalt und Gier ziehen an uns,
während Angst und Verzweiflung immer lauter werden.

Vielleicht können wir nicht alles ändern.
Aber wir können versuchen, aufrecht weiterzugehen –
und dabei die Hand eines Menschen festzuhalten,
der diesen schmalen Weg mit uns geht.
